基于FFS架构实现宽窄视角切换

基于公共场合隐私保护的需求,宽窄视角可切换的液晶显示技术有着迫切的市场需求。现有宽窄视角切换技术不但增加了显示装置的厚度与成本,而且降低了原本宽视角模式下的显示效果。本文研究了一种基于负性液晶FFS模式的宽窄视角切换技术,它通过在彩色滤光片一侧形成高预倾角配向(40°～60°),在同侧第三电极施加弱电场时,液晶分子离轴方向具有较大相位延迟,形成大视角观看时的暗态漏光与对比度下降,实现窄视角显示模式。而同侧第三电极施加强垂直电场时,大的预倾角液晶分子因负介电各项异性使得倾角降低,可减少暗态漏光和提升对比度,实现宽视角显示模式。验证结果表明:宽视角模式时,其上下左右视角均可达到85°以上;而窄视角模式时,左右视角仅为40°,且具有较好的对称性。本技术结构简单,驱动灵活,在防窥显示领域具有很好的应用前景。     

配向膜对LCD对比度的影响

目前,LCD行业已经趋于成熟。各大面板企业都在提升自身产品的竞争力:高分辨率、高色域、轻质化、窄边框化以及高对比度等等。本文从聚酰亚胺取向层材料方面着手提高对比度进行了研究与阐述。研究过程中利用实验室与产线进行了实际测试,通过对比不同性质的取向膜材料所制作的平面电场宽视角(ADS)模式液晶面板,证明了配向能力越高的取向材料得到的面板对比度越高。高配向力的取向层可以使液晶分子的排列更加有序化,在常暗模式的FFS显示器中,初始位置的液晶分子预倾角越低,液晶面板的暗态越好,在亮态相同的情况下,对比度将会提高。     

一种宽视角和快速响应的连续视角可控液晶显示

在垂面排列液晶显示模式中,液晶分子垂直取向,具有暗态良好、高对比度的特点,但是其视角特性不佳。采用MVA和PVA技术等多畴结构可以使VA模式的视角情况得到改善,但MVA模式中凸起结构引起的液晶分子初始预倾状态会导致暗态漏光,从而降低显示的对比度。而PVA模式中的狭缝结构虽然不会影响对比度,但其响应速度比较慢。文中提出一种新型垂面排列液晶显示器结构,其像素电极四周刻蚀有弧形狭缝,公共电极中心刻蚀有孔洞。施加电压时液晶分子向中心倾倒,形成中心对称的多畴结构,实现了对比度均匀的宽视角,且这一结构在保证高透过率的同时还可以实现快速响应。另外,通过在公共电极上施加偏置电压,该结构还可实现视角的连续可控。

基于FPGA的超高亮液晶显示动态调光系统的设计

针对在超高亮环境下,液晶显示的功耗大、散热高、画面对比度低的问题,设计一种基于FPGA的动态背光系统。基于vesa标准的分区亮度提取与分帧加权背光驱动数据处理,通过FPGA对背光灯板的驱动IC的控制,实现对每个微小型区域背光进行单独控制。实现了在高亮环境下,采用动态区域调光算法的背光灯板与传统全局背光灯板相比,相同功耗下对比度提高了35.8%,有效的提高了画面的显示质量;同时,在达到相同亮度的情况下,功耗降低了50%左右。有效地解决了因全局背光带来的功耗高、对比度低问题,实现了背光亮度可根据液晶画面灵活调整,达到了降低功耗同时提升画面的显示效果。     

TFT-LCD TN曲面显示器色不均现象的研究

薄膜晶体管液晶显示器(TFT-LCD)扭曲向列型(TN)液晶曲面显示器搭配宽视角偏光片暗态时会发生色不均现象,推测色不均现象的发生机理为:曲面状态时,玻璃基板受应力发生形变,面板中应力不均,加之液晶双折射,暗态时上视角观察显示屏上下两侧边缘发蓝。本文模拟了不同改善措施对色不均现象的影响,同时对有改善的模拟结果进行了实验测试。测试结果表明,可以通过两种方式改善色不均现象:第一种是增加暗态亮度,掩盖暗态时色不均现象,如调整电路、偏光片吸收轴角度等。实验结果表明调整电路使显示器暗态亮度从0.18cd/m~2提升至0.25cd/m~2,色不均面积由显示器面积的30%减小至10%,吸收轴角度从135°调整至134.5°,色不均面积减小至10%,但电路调整使显示器响应时间增加2.5倍,吸收轴角度调整0.5°会使对比度下降20%,对产品性能均有不利影响;第二种是改善曲面状态下显示屏内部应力均一性,如增加液晶盒盒厚、高温老化、降低显示器玻璃基板厚度等。实验结果表明:降低玻璃厚度至0.2mm以及高温60℃老化72h均能使色不均现象消失,且对产品性能无不利影响。     

红外照射条件下目标和背景的亮度融合

从目标和背景亮度对比度的角度出发,构建了红外照射条件下目标和背景的亮度融合模型,得出了亮度融合的条件。针对红外探测中不同组合的目标和背景,探究了红外照射条件下亮度融合的适用对象,并进行了仿真验证。结果发现:通过红外照射的方式实现目标与背景亮度融合的方法,适用于与背景相比具有高发射率的亮目标和低发射率的暗目标,特别地,对于温度与背景相等的目标,实现某波段上与背景亮度融合的辐射照度等于温度为T(T=Tt=Tb)的黑体在该波段上的辐射出射度。最后,通过红外照射系统照射不同组合的目标和背景(亮目标和暗目标),一定程度上实现了中红外波段目标和背景的亮度融合,验证了理论的有效性。

Possibility of stereoscopic displays by using a viewing angledependence of twisted nematic liquid crystal cells

Stereoscopic displays that use the viewing angle dependence of twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal cells to direct light to either the left or right eye have been investigated. From a calculation that combined Frank's elastic theory and Berreman's 4×4 matrix method, it is observed that a luminance ratio defined as the luminance of viewing direction divided by that from the opposite direction largely depends on a pretilt angle of liquid crystal material and the cell thickness. The maximum luminance ratio is obtained at the cell thickness of the second-minimum. From experimental results, clear transmittance inversion between left and right directions observed. The experimental results of the viewing angle dependence are in good agreement with calculation results. The luminance ratios were 4.7 in the cell with polyimide alignment layer (the pretilt angle 4.5°) and 17 in the cell with alignment layer of SiO oblique evaporation (the pretilt angle=40°)     

高效高亮度硅基顶发射有机电致发光器件的研制

以半透明超薄金属银作为阴极,紫外臭氧处理的厚金属银作为阳极,制备了高效率高亮度的黄光硅基顶发射有机发光器件。当电压为9V时,器件的最大电流效率为4.9cd/A,当电压为17V时,器件的亮度达到14 040cd/m2。通过增加掺杂浓度及阳极厚度对器件结构进一步优化后,器件性能显著提高,其电流效率在外加电压为10V时达到11cd/A,相应亮度为21 748cd/m2.顶发射器件中存在的微腔效应能有效提高器件的发光效率以及亮度,但是也会使器件的共振波长随着观察视角的增大而蓝移。由于采用合适的发光材料,本实验制备的器件的发光峰值在0°~75°视角范围内几乎没有变化。     

CSD-a new unified threshold metric of evaluating LCD viewing angle by color saturation degradation

Lower luminance contrast ratio and chromatic changes affect the visual performance (i.e. color shift) of a thin-film transistor liquid-crystal device (TFT-LCD) at large viewing angles. The de facto method of defining viewing angle, contrast ratio of luminance, fails to represent the substantial visual performance viewed at a larger angle. We found the degradation of color saturation, dS*/d/spl theta/, to be an appropriate metric to aid the conventional viewing angle definition (CR /spl ges/ 10). We empirically determined the threshold for defining the color viewing angles of TFT-LCDs, CVA = {/spl theta//spl par/dS*/d/spl theta/| /spl les/ 0.03}, which reflects the variation not only in chromaticity but also in luminance. The proposed metric was evaluated by psychophysical experiments, whose results validate the efficacy of the proposed metric.     

Retrieving soil moisture from simulated brightness temperatures bya neural network

The authors present the retrievals of surface soil moisture (SM) from simulated brightness temperatures by a newly developed error propagation learning backpropagation (EPLBP) neural network. The frequencies of interest include 6.9 and 10.7 GHz of the advanced microwave scanning radiometer (AMSR) and 1.4 GHz (L-band) of the soil moisture and ocean salinity (SMOS) sensor. The land surface process/radiobrightness (LSP/R) model is used to provide time series of both SM and brightness temperatures at 6.9 and 10.7 GHz for AMSRs viewing angle of 55°, and at L-band for SMOS's multiple viewing angles of 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, and 50° for prairie grassland with a column density of 3.7 km/m². These multiple frequencies and viewing angles allow the authors to design a variety of observation modes to examine their sensitivity to SM. For example, L-band brightness temperature at any single look angle is regarded as an L-band one-dimensional (1D) observation mode. Meanwhile, it can be combined with either the observation at the other angles to become an L-band two-dimensional (2D) or a multiple dimensional observation mode, or with the observation at 6.9 or 10.7 GHz to become a multiple frequency/dimensional observation mode. In this paper, it is shown that the sensitivity of radiobrightness at AMSR channels to SM is increased by incorporating L-band radiobrightness. In addition, the advantage of an L-band 2D or a multiple dimensional observation mode over an L-band 1D observation mode is demonstrated     

快速响应的共面转换型液晶显示器

共面转换液晶显示器(IPS-LCD)由于其具有可视角度大、色彩真实、画质出色等优点,在平板显示器中得到了广泛应用,然而响应速度慢限制了其在高端显示器中的应用。本文中,首先通过采用正性液晶,对IPS类型中的边缘场转换型(FFS)和边缘场共面转换型(FIS)的液晶显示器,不同摩擦角度下的电光特性和响应时间进行了模拟计算。然后从预倾角度、电极尺寸以及弹性常数出发,对FIS液晶盒结构参数进行了优化,提出了一种快速响应的液晶显示器。我们通过计算机模拟发现,在FFS液晶盒中,摩擦角度对工作电压具有较大影响,小摩擦角度可实现高透过率、低工作电压;而在FIS液晶盒中,摩擦角度对响应时间具有较大影响,大于10°时与2°时相比,响应速度可提高82.7%以上。并且,不同摩擦角度下,弹性常数对FIS液晶显示器的响应速度影响不同,摩擦角度为2°时,响应速度与弹性常数K11、K22、K33都有关,而摩擦角度为12°时,响应速度只与K22有关,这个原因导致了12°与2°时相比,响应速度提高了84.2%。     

Recent Trends on Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) and Fringe-Field Switching (FFS) Liquid Crystal Displays for Liquid Crystal Television Applications

This paper reviews the recent trends on super-patterned vertical alignment (S-PVA) and fringe-field switching (FFS) technologies for liquid crystal display (LCD)-television (TV) applications. For PVA mode, Samsung originally announced S-PVA technology in 2004 to enhance off-axis viewing quality of conventional PVA mode. S-PVA is a new technology which enables screen quality advantages over super-in plane switching (S-IPS) and multi-domain VA (MVA), including high transmittance, >2300:1 contrast ratio, and wide viewing angle with no off-axis image inversion. This paper explores and updates Samsung's latest developments toward its goal of ultimate LCD-TV performance. For FFS mode, the technology appeared in 1998 by HYDIS and now it has been commercialized in all kinds of display applications, implying its technical importance. This paper reviews recent developments and performance of LCD-TV using the FFS mode based on published papers and our knowledge.     

High-performance inverted top-emitting green electrophosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with a modified top Ag anode

Green electrophosphorescent inverted top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes with a Ag/1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) anode are demonstrated. A high current efficacy of 124.7 cd/A is achieved at a luminance of 100 cd/m² when an optical outcoupling layer of N,N′-di-[(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl]-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (α-NPD) is deposited on the anode. The devices have a low turn-on voltage of 3.0 V and exhibit low current efficacy roll-off through luminance values up to 10,000 cd/m². The angle dependent spectra show deviation from Lambertian emission and color change with viewing angle. Hole-dominated devices with Ag/HAT-CN electrodes show current densities up to three orders of magnitude higher than devices without HAT-CN.
